Another possibility: do not synchronize anything, access remotely with Remote Desktop
Jose Enrique Llopis -----Mensaje original----- De: ProFox [mailto:[email protected]] En nombre de [email protected] Enviado el: miércoles, 12 de julio de 2017 19:52 Para: ProFox Asunto: Syncing data locally from a remote database VFP9SP2 app, MySQL(MariaDB) secure database on web Scenario: customer uses my software but has an extremely slow connection to the remote database and as such, queries involving large, sometimes-changing lookup data is slow. Solution: pull data locally for quick lookup. This works if I can do some sort of Sync operation to make sure the local copy matches the remote copy. The Primary Keys are varchar-40 GUID, and there's a timestamp field as well. My thought was to use those 2 fields for the sync. If it exists in both and the remote timestamp is newer, update the local record. If it exists in the remote but not locally, add it local. If it exists in the local but not in the remote, delete it from local. Any new adds or updates to existing records will then be done to the remote database and then echoed locally. I was thinking I'd setup MariaDB locally for this local database.
